"I'm going to get one of your girls. You know what will happen to her." Dr, Mantz engaged the man In sonversation for a few minuws, vying to hold him on the line while the call was traced. The tele- phone company was unable to trace 'he call, however, Doctor is Frightened, Dr. Mantz was too frightened to out any trust in the hope that the call might have been a hoax per- petrated by a 'crank', which po- 'ice believed was the case.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec, 21--Pos- sibility that William Edward Hick- man, accused slayer of Marian Par- ker, might have used an extensive disguise to escape his thousands of pursuers, and new evidence that his known lair possibly was the scene of the death of the schoolgirl, add- ed new sensational angles to the manhunt, The accused "Fox" might even have bleached his dark, wavy hair in effecting a disguise, the police tonight believed, after it had been determined that he had stolen a quantity of hair bleach from a drug store he is accused of holding up two weeks prior to the kidnapping Hunt for "Death House." The ever-widening circle of search for Marian Parker's murder er found scores of detectives en- gaged late today in a hunt for ¢ new "death house" in the foothills near Alhambra. Another new tip on the trail o the slayer caused orders for ap aeroplane carrying detectives to leave for Arizona late today. George Contreras, chief of the Dis- trict Attorney's detective staff, and Police Detective Lieuenant MacCar- ron got instructions to fly to Yuma and Nogales. The nature of thei mission was held secret, Numerous suspects were arrest ed today, but all were released Among them was Richard O'Neil of Palms, a town in the Santa Mon- fea district, It was the fifth time he had been arrested, so Herman Cline, Chief of Detectives, gave him a letter to identify himself to the nex officer who should mistake him for Hickman, He is said tc be so nearly like the accused mar that he could pass for a twin, Despite information concernin- other persons reported seen with Hickman, Herman Cline, Detective Chief, reiterated his opinion that the slayer carried out his crime alone and unaided. Cline, backing up his belief. that it was a 'one-man job," declared all other suspects in the case, two of whom still were held, had beer exonerated, The two men held are Ear) Smith, said to have been a friend of the Parker family, and George Barnaman, believed to be mentally Aeranged. Intense feeling against the slay er gave no signs of abating, Wher a man whe was somewhat similar in appearance to Hickman was ar rested at Sixth and Hill Streets a' noon, a crowd closed in so menac- ingly that a riot call was sent to Central Station, After a few ques tions the suspect, Dick Foell, was released and escorted out of dan ner by officers who answered the amergency call, Santa Monica, Cal,, Dec. 21--An xchange of his grey overcoat fo five gallons of gasoline was mad at a Culver City garage last Thurs day by Willlam Edward Hickman sought as the slayer of Marian Par ee DAL UORES IRR D eRe IO ker only a few hours after he kid way east of here after three mer declared they had seen a man an swering Hickman's description.

The man ordered coffee and left with out paying for it, declaring he ha no money. Two other men reported seein a man resembling photographs « Hickman, MEXICAN RAILWAYS T0 CHANGE PLANS Recommendations of Sir Henry Thornton to be Put Into Force Ottawa, Dec, 22.--A lot of com munications in the form of letters or telegrams are being received in government circles concerning the "Mexican controversy," The suggestions vary from mild ex- pressions of opinion that Sir Henry Thornton ought not to have gone to Mexico to look into the railway situation there at the in- stance of outside bondholders, to demand that the Mexican consul- general at Toronto be fired out bodily, all consular relations sev- ered and, if a state of war were not declared, that, at least, inter course should be suspended. Many of the messcges are so similar in wording as to suggest a common origin, Bishop Fallon, of London, siart ed the agitation with a warmly worded open letter which attract ed attention because of his promin ence in the Church and also fir public affairs, To his agitation was attributed the famous regula tion of the Ontario Educational Act regarding the teaching o French which was recently dis carded, The Prime Minister replied tr the Bishop's letter publicly, de slaring that the Government had nothing to do with Sir Henry Thornton's mission to Mexico. Then the Mexican consul at Tor onto came out with a hot answer to Bishop Fallon, and Hon, Charle Mar-il next issued a statement tr the e'fery that the consul ought to be given his passports, - House Action The reaction to all this is a series of resolutions and telegrams and letters in the papers, and, very likely, there' will be some reper: cussion when the House meets. Meanwhile, there appears to be little indication that the protests are "registering'" extensively. Relations between Canada and Mexico are by no means extensive and consist wholly of a relatively small volume of trade, curiously similar as to imports and exports, A good deal of Canadian capital, however, is Invested in Mexico, Of a breach of such relations as exist, there is mo probability, but the agitation which is being stir red up is undoubtedly a source o' annoyance to the Government, MARITIME TRADE CONDITIONS BETTER Roflecting Widespread Im- provement, Says Hon.

Nova Scotia's basic industry-- coal mining, was being pursued more steadily now than for several vears past; generally speaking, the mines were operating regularly, and shipments to the St. Lawrence market for the year of 1927 were expected to show a great increase over those even of last year, and the 1926 season had establish- 14¢ Raspberries--Fancy Quality --Aylmer Brand-- Glass Jar 43¢ Pineapple Sliced -- Fancy Quality--Aylmer Brand -- Glass jar Wild Bramble Jelly--Robert- son's Imported--Jar .... 29¢ Cranberry Jelly--Glassco's 16 oz. jar' 24¢ Skinless Figs--Texas-- 13 oz. jar Peas--Radio Brand--Sweet and Tender--No. 2 Size Tin 16¢ Golden Bantam mer Brand -- Fancy Roquefort Cheece--F -- French Imported Ib.
